MIT Science for Genocide

 
https://archive.org/details/mit-science-for-genocide
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) contributes to the Gaza Genocide and Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine in at least two distinct ways. First, MIT laboratories on campus conduct weapons and surveillance research directly sponsored by the Israeli military. Since at least 2015, MIT laboratories have received millions of dollars from the Israeli Ministry of Defense for projects to develop algorithms that help drone swarms to better pursue escaping targets; to improve underwater surveillance technology; and support military aircraft evade missiles. Two of these sponsorships were renewed since October 7th, 2023, while one came up for renewal in December 2024. Second, MIT maintains institutional collaborations through the ILP, LGO, CSAIL, and MIT Energy Initiative programs with companies that sell vast amounts of weapons to Israel. These include Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military contractor, as well as Maersk, Lockheed Martin, and Caterpillar. These collaborations grant genocide profiteers privileged access to MIT talent and expertise.

The MIT Coalition for Palestine is an MIT movement of scientists opposed to colonialism,
occupation, and apartheid in Palestine and beyond. We are guided by four principles of
unity: 1) We are committed to the liberation of Palestine. 2) We support the right of
oppressed and occupied people to resist their oppression. 3) We fight for Palestinian
liberation within the broader struggle for liberation of all oppressed peoples. 4) We
defend the right of every human to live a life of dignity.
